No idea on this location, but a very unfortunate shop name to the right!

No idea where this pub was. Anyone?

That is, indeed, Ocean Terminal undergoing destruction in 1983: a sad day for me personally – I used to pass it en route to matches, home and away – and also, I believe, a sad day for the city – Ocean Terminal was an iconic Art Deco style building, especially its interior. Check out the bauble-on-a-pedestal above the W H Smith kiosk in the First Class Lounge!

Interesting article about Ocean Terminal below:

Nice work Sfcsim (and Goatboy)!
